This read will take your breath away. The harrowing details faced daily by Vietnam chopper crew members are vividly presented. Each brief and deeply personal story creates new visuals of the daily fight to stay alive. Powerfully moved, I felt back in time--similar to punching big buttons on a 60's jukebox full of deep cuts during that era. However, this book's selections were not classic music from long ago. Instead, in an amazing fashion, Chopper Heroes records ordeals faced by our bravest young men in service that are far more powerful than the music back then. Simply stated, I highly recommend this book to those who appreciate valor and enjoy history about potentially forgotten warriors.

Author's Synopsis

Chopper Heroes ~ Have Guns Will Travel will introduce many of the survivors of the nasty war in Vietnam. The true, interesting, gut-wrenching and often thrilling stories you are about to read are from men whom I am honored to know. Many of the words written here are theirs from interviews I have done. As a storyteller, I have tried to recapture the events as they happened forty-five plus years ago. The narrative and scenes created here are mostly true, and the dialogue is written for all audiences from teenagers to adults, men and women alike.
